Canada's national broadcaster is playing politics in choosing not to call the Hamas attacks terrorism.
It didn’t matter that Hamas is listed as a terrorist organization by Canada, the European Union, the United States, Britain, Japan and Australia, CBC journalists were not to call Hamas terrorists.
In the email, Achi also warned journalists to be careful when quoting politicians who are calling Hamas terrorists. CBC journalists confirmed to the Toronto Sun that the email being shared widely online and being widely ridiculed was in fact accurate. A CBC spokesperson also confirmed the authenticity of the memo and explained their position as part of their “commitment to accuracy, balance and fairness.”“CBC News attributes the words ‘terrorist’ and ‘terrorism’ to authorities, politicians and other officials who use these terms. There is no ban on these words.
